I made this using the octagons made by the previous tutorial. I used Bella Gypsy kit Giraffity and the fonts are Kingthings Embroidery & X Stitch.
You can also do side by side comparisons. I like the second one better, how about you?
OK I gave you the tutorial to make and save octagon shapes in My Memories Suite so that you can use again & again but there is another option. Did you know you can open a polygon shape, then click the edit button and add sides! If you don’t see a future need but you want an octagon for a page you’re currently working on, you can make one this way. You can use it on your current project but you can’t “save” it for future projects. Here’s a snapshot of the screen. If you open the polygon shape then choose the edit button, shown on the lower right of this snapshot, a little slider comes up & you can change the number of sides. Thanks to Marshal Dillon (Arlene) for pointing this out to me. You rock!
Family photos-from the top: Mother & Daddy; Clint, Daddy & Blake; Dennis, me & Daddy; Mother, Dennis & me; and me. I had to laugh at the comparison of the picture on the right-me with waist length hair and my brother with short hair then a couple of years later I’ve chopped mine all off & he’s letting his grow! Go figure! The late 60’s, early 70’s-things were changing! Family Quilt! Kit used My Garden Grows which is part of SUNsational Summer (StoryRock).
First birthdays are so much fun! My grand daughter was very reluctant to put her hand in the cake mommy made. At first she’d only stick one finger in but eventually she got into it. She wasn’t feeling well that day but we had a lot of fun sharing one of her “firsts”. For these two layouts I used “Birthday Smash” by Sugar Moon Designs. For the first page I used a template from Lindsay Jane Designs and added some word art from a Saxon Holt Creation “Let Them Eat Cake”. Layout #2 is all “Birthday Smash” & the font used is Snap ITC.
I love challenges and here’s the latest. I made these 2 pages using the same template from Lindsay Jane Designs, one with a border and one without. I used all the same papers and elements so I could get a good comparison. The kit I used is by CollabGirls Creations-Summer Dream. It’s hard for me to decide. I really like the way the one with borders look but I do like that the pictures are larger without the border. Do you have a preference? Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Thanks to a fantastic tutorial that Sharon Horswill made I learned how to use outside content to make a new photo layout. Most people think you can’t use an “outside content template” in mymemories suite but with a little creativity you can use it over & over again. I used a free template offered by Lindsay Jane Designs to make a photo layout that I saved in mymemories suite. I love this layout and now I’ll be able to used it again. I used pieces from many kits: Albums2Remember Hawaii, Marie H Chasing Bugs, Deanna Jones Nautical Nights, Chriscraps You Are My Sunshine, a freebie from Jump Start Designs and a freebie from 3Scrapateers. The font is Banner Lite.
I made this layout using Let Freedom Ring by Digi Cyber Scraps. This is a gorgeous kit that is available at mymemories.com. I am trying to learn how to post free quickpages for you to use. This is my first attempt. Here is the page I did…

I used “Thank You Mommy” by Snap Wings to make this layout of my sister & I back in 2005. We were at my son’s wedding in South Padre Island, TX. We had an entire B & B to ourselves for three days. It was so beautiful! It was a single story with all the rooms opening onto the courtyard/swimming pool area. The ceremony and reception were both in the courtyard. It was lovely. In this picture we were in the dining area & she was obviously picking on me. I love my sister!
